You talk like one of the old goombas sitting in one of the clubs downtown. My helmet is hanging on the wall of my man cave with its battle scars still visible. BBQ in new jersey yuck I got spoiled by eating real BBQ in north carolina both eastern and western carolina style, new jersey stuff is nothing more then meat with ketchup. Smart move getting out and heading south just watch the grass grow and for excitement watch paint dry. I’ll be at a affair in forked river for another escapee maybe you’ll be there?[quote comment=”209431″]Escape same age as you..memory sharp and parents told me beside what i could remember..Hope to see you in forked river mid sep..Still have your monroe buddies helmet??

68 in re to Goompas..Past history..dutchie mutt gallerger the horse on Sunday was a good day to figure a 2 if 1 reverse and 2.00 place parley..The only goomba assoic left is the Monto San Giamico Club on 6th and Adams st..They just play Morda for a glass of wine. Just memories and happy days..Ask Sibby who knocked the wall down with the rig on the job..No relocation untill september,in a complex near you..At least in Lacy and waretown you don’t have to move the car for the sweeper or worry about corners. The Police are kinda tough..Tax payers complain of what our kids earn in Hoboken but check out what these cops make in ocean county as well as the high taxes..Love to chat with you..in person..Come on here to trade barbs and have fun but so many use it as a sounding board…to vent over what they cannot change. We proberly bent elbows at the monroe buddies club years ago when Richie was the bartender rip..Keep in touch…[quote comment=”209447″]You talk like one of the old goombas sitting in one of the clubs downtown.

Smart move getting out, the peace and quiet is going to make you nuts in the begining but you’ll adjust real quick. Parking is easy but traffic isn’t much better with refugees like you realizing how much city life sucks. The cops are the same except for the high and tight haircuts. If you want to escape taxes move to either tibet or mar but you do get more for you $$$$’s.it’s still new jersey.good luck [quote comment=”209448″]68 in re to Goompas..Past history..dutchie mutt gallerger the horse on Sunday was a good day to figure a 2 if 1 reverse and 2.00 place parley..The only goomba assoic left is the Monto San Giamico Club on 6th and Adams st..They just play Morda for a glass of wine.
